adviceGood thing it was a snake, good thing it bit
you.
Where there's life, there's hope.
Even a child can see
that to have one foot in the grave is to call a spade a spade.
Think
before you start as what's done cannot be undone.
Up to his eyeballs in crocodile tears
he left no stone unturned.
While many hands make light work all together
we cannot do everything.
At a point in time we were both in the same
boat.
Golden handcuffs cut to the
quick.
Time reveals all
things.
In the land of the
blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Women: can't live with 'em, can't
live without 'em.
From heaven to earth a fair wind nowhere near the
mark completed the circle.
While we weigh anchor dangle the bait.
No sooner said than done.
Out of tune, up to both ears, lead by
the nose the dog was worthy of his dinner.
Between a rock and a hard
place a rare bird walked on tiptoe.
One
step at a time many miles ahead a living corpse walked the tightrope.
There's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip.
God helps those who
help themselves while the grass is greener over the fence.
The bowels
of the earth can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Haste makes waste while
time heals some wounds.
To
look a gift horse in the mouth is to die laughing
like father, like son.
To swallow the hook while grinding one's teeth is to have an iron in
the fire.
He blows his own trumpet to break the ice before he is shown
one's heels.
The cart before the horse is not worth a snap of the
fingers.
Sleep on it to have nailed it up ship-shape.
Cutting
against the grain, one good turn deserves another, as by losses and
disappointment young men acquire knowledge.
To lead one by the nose and
to shoot beyond the mark makes one as far from the right, as the east is from
the west.
He that meddleth with strife that doth not belong to him, is
like one that taketh a mad dog by the ear.
Hatched from the same egg
though in a mirror a necessary evil squeezed blood out of a stone.
Fly
from that man, he has hay on his horns.
When in Rome do as the Romans do as walls
have ears.
To add fuel to
the fire is irritating instead of appeasing the enraged passions.
Business is not likely to go
on well which is managed by strangers as when the cat is away, the mice will
play.
Old young and old long if you wish to enjoy a long and healthy
old age.
Fools are wise, or may be so reputed, when they are silent as
flies do not enter the mouth that is shut.
Those who abound in knowledge
are usually most deficient in money but he who owes nothing is rich.
A
companion for all hours or seasons is the thief who makes the rich man tremble
but excites no alarm in the breast of the
beggar as he has nothing to lose.
The wise man passeth by an injury,
anger resteth in the bosom of a fool.
Charity begins at home, out of
harm's way, beyond bow-shot or the reach of darts, out of debt, out of danger.
There
is a snake in the grass, take care how you tread as you have opened a door to a
thousand evils.
Even though the foolish sayings of the rich, pass
in the world as oracles it is by the constant trickling of water, the solid
stone becomes excavated.
Poor as a church mouse he is foolish and mad
enough, who empties his own purse to fill that of another.
A horse-shoe
nailed on the threshold of the door preserves the house from the effects of
witchcraft while among sailors a horse-shoe nailed to the mast preserves the
vessel from evil influence.
Arguing against what is self-evident is the
same as denying that the sun shines at midday while men of over communicative
dispositions, may divulge to their adversaries what may be turned to their
disadvantage.
A prophet is not without honor save in his own
country as truth begets hatred, familiarity contempt, and success
envy.
Evil dispositions in children are to be corrected
before they become habits.
Think before you act, but having well
considered, and formed your plan, go on resolutely to the end.
To
design well, and to persevere with vigor in the path we have drawn for
ourselves, is the almost certain way to attain our object.
Posterity will give to every one the
portion of commendation to which he was entitled by his merit.
How
much better would it be to correct an error in ourselves, than to find an
hundred in our neighbors.
Sowing your grain among stones, writing on
water, or building on
sand is like washing adobe bricks, the more you scour them, the more muddy
they become.
Strike, therefore, while the iron is hot as you are
preaching to the deaf.
Among friends all things should be in common.
Can the Ethiopian
change the color of her skin, or the leopard his spots; is the bear
Catholic and does the Pope shit in the woods?
Affecting to give
information to persons on subjects they are better acquainted with than
ourselves, is like teaching birds to fly, or fishes to swim.
Assist
those who are willing to receive instruction, and
aid those who endeavor, but have
not strength, to bear the load that is imposed on them.
You have
explained that difficult passage, and rendered clear and luminous, what was
before obscure and difficult.
There are those who by
a multiplicity of words, endeavor to obscure the
truth, and to induce those they
converse with to entertain opinions very different to what they would have
formed, if the story had been told in a plain
and simple manner.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason which requires no leap of
faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in
which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation
with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality
in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human
spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not
occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass
media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the
family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the
corrupt international elites vision of a perfect
world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the
bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
All views and opinions presented on this web
